If they continue with bands like they have so far - it will NOT sell out. Growl Death metal has LIMITED appeal. It appeals to a part of a metal crowd. While MOST metal fans prefer traditional metal, power, doom and prog. If they keep turning this into "Barge to Hell" it will NOT sell out. I already know 7 people whom I met on last cruise said that they are NOT coming back if the line up keeps being like this. Me and my wife won't be returning either. If we wanted to go to "Barge to Hell" we would have.

Dude, will you stop with this? This is about the 10th post about this you've made.

So now a Gold Star person could be someone who never was on The Majesty of The Seas,I suspect that is the reason why some of the balcony cabins have sold out so quickly.Being on both boats the first thing I noticed is that with the big ship it was actually possible to have a complete vacation without any bands at all (expensive cruise however).The casino was always crowded while on The Majesty it was mostly dead.Won't be hardly anything left for the public this time ,except for cheaper cabins,this parallels selling patterns for MORC and other music cruises now.

If the current red strike-through cabin categories are anything to go by, you are almost certainly going to be 100% incorrect.

I mean whats the point of a secondary presale and a public sale when they have nothing left to offer?

Possibly because UMC underrated themselves, the festival and us, survivors. We all got too big. And when they created the silver/gold status they probably didn't think that so many people would keep coming every year. Now almost everyone is a gold survivor, so they need to create a new group - or pick a larger boat.

But we didnt received your cabin number yet, and the 766 Quad is sold out on the pricing page. Are we screwed? Or it does include us??

I sure hope that's not what's happened, but I am thinking that they prioritize crossing those sold-out cabins first, then the sending out of the confirmation notices. Since it's the weekend, it's possible we don't get them until Monday. I don't know if they're working overtime right now or not.

Last year I went to book ASAP the minute that silver opened, and the room type I wanted was already totally gone. That makes me think, y'know, that the rooms that are sold-out after gold are just sold-out for good.

I don't really want to lose my first dibs, but platinum might be in order. The other option (to not crash the site) is to have a site not running on a blog platform like this one, but I'm not willing to pay a lot extra on my ticket for them to have a real web developer do that.

How many of you have received your official "BOOKED" email? I know that some have, and some have not. I'm in the latter category.

Got the Booking Request confirmation email immediately after my long trip through server-crash-hell, but haven't seen the payment link email yet. Hopefully will receive it soon.... excited for this year's cruise!

Price increases are the way to deal with selling out ,not new levels and other stupid stuff.As for receiving your payment link that might take a while.I think last year I got mine on Monday after booking Friday.If you get a confirmation,you should be fine as I am sure a few cabins in each category are held back in the beginning.

Received an email a few minutes ago with the room/booking code & payment instructions. They are faster than you think DMP.

26 hours waiting for that email. The longest it's taken them to send me things

I can't see them doing anything of the such ,business wise would make no sense.There is already 10/15 % discount at Gold ,5/10% discount at silver.There would be a lot of confusion and booking problems as everyone hunts to team up with a higher level cruiser ,it is already a minor shit-show.Maybe just maybe ,some perks such as a cruise shirt ,free drinks etc. but nothing to do with booking.

I was purely considering booking priority, not discounts...

I agree,they need to stagger these out now.With all the new Golds it has to be like 3,000 people trying to get into the boat at the same time.I would try to split the Golds in half ,whatever that is and make one higher level.Then that could move depending on number of Golds.Say you get top Level don't book,then you fall out of that priority.
